PIainfield i'm the Gas Region.

PLAINFIELD, June 2.-The people of Plain
field and surrounding country have been
enjoying the novel sensation of witnessing
q burning gas we'll for the past several days,
and the prospects are that their curiosity
will be rewarded with the sight of the
greatest gusher in the way of gas we'll
that Indiana ever produced before the
close of the present week. Since the dis
covery of natural gas here, over a week
ago, there has been steady flow of the
erticle from the well, which has neither
diminished nor greatly increased. The fluid
when lighted, which occurs at each draw
ing OF the huge drill. still blszes at height
of from ten to twelve feet from the mouth
of the eight inch driving pipe. The work
of drilling progresses rather slowly, owing
to the numerous difficulties met with in
the way of water and quicksand. The gas
before reaching the mouth of the well has
to come through over 400 feet of water, and
considering this circumstance il is remark
able that the flow should be so great. Great
things are expected when the drill reaches
the Trenton limestone. There has been
perceptible advance in the price of real
estate here already, and healthy boom
and growth may be expected by Plainfield
should gas be found IN liberal quantities.

A Ghost on the Make.

BRAZIL, May 3t.-Some nights ago the
residence of DR.. John Williams, near Bowl.
ing Green, was raided persistently by burg.
lars, who carried on their work in a most
uncommon manner, creating in the minds
of the family and neighbors the impression
that the house was haunted. In fact. the
ghostly presence was the first considera-
tlon-the theft was discovered later. One
night the Doctors grandson, Ell, aged
about eighteen years. suddenly disap-
peared. at the same time several hundred
dollars of the doctors money was missing,
and the conclusion was at once reached
that the young man was connected with the
mysterious manifestations that had been
seen and heard about the premises for some
time past. Efforts to capture him have
proved fruitless thus far. His grandfather,
who Is quite wealthy, has, however, strick-
en- his name out of his will, in which'he
had been remembered quite literally.

Brutal outrare on Women.

CoRYDoN, June 3-Thursday night anoth-
er outrage was committed by the "Regu-
lators." A mob of twenty-five masked
men went TO the house of a man named
Lynch, seven miles west of here, and took
Mrs. Lucinda Lynch and her daughter
Mary out OF their beds. Old man Lynch
was also routed out and covered with pis-
tolls, and compelled to stand quiet while
the mob took the two women out into the
front yard and stripped them to the waist.
The Regulators then took switches and
whipped the two females until they tainted
from the pain. Mrs. Lucinda Lynch is In
a DELEGATE condition, and the results of the
brutal treatment may be extremely seri-
Gus. The mob claim that the two women
are lewd characters, who out to be driven
out of the country. The outrage is con-
demDed in unmeasured terms by the law
abiding citizens of the community.

An Old nTusket Goes or.

FoRT WAYNE, May 81 Last evening
Mrs. Henry Stellhorn, living three miles
south of the city, upon opening her barn
door was Mortified to find her young
nephew, Willie Stellhorn. lying on the
floor insensible. Three fingers of the left
hand were gone and portion of the thumb,
head. The Lad was brought to this city,
and, not until after the amputation had
been performed by a surgeon, was he able
to tell how he was injured. He says that
an old musket that had been loaded to kill
rats stood near the door, and that it
fell down as he entered, and was dis
charged, the shot grazing his head and
taking off his fingers. He fell senseless,
and remained in a dazed condition for two
hours. When the amputation was being
performed, he evinced no pain and but
little interest in the operation. 1t is a
strange case.

FROM LIFE TO DEATH

Is but moment If rheumatism or neural
gia strikes the heart. These diseases are
the most painful and the most dangerous
of any to which human kind is liable.
They fly from one part to another without
q moments warning and linimeHts and
other outward applications are in them
selves dang erous because they are liable to
drive the disease to some vital organ and
cause instant death. rheumatism and
neuralgia are diseases of the blood, and can
only be reached by remedy which will
drive from the blood the dangerous acids.
Such remedy is Athlophoros. It has been
thoroughly tested ana is a safe, sure cure.
Mrs. Cregar, 1925 East Main street, Terre
Haute. Ind, said ~ was one OF the great
est sufferers from rheumatism that any
mortal could be and live. For five days I
was completely Frustrated and helpless.
Not muscle or Joint was free from the
most excruciating pain. The pain was so
intense and l so sensitive could not even
bear the weight of sheet. did not know
what sleep was for many nights. 1 suf-
fered ia this way for long time, using
many different treatments and medinces,
both from physicians and friends advice,
but nothing did as much as to give me re-
lief. Finally my husband got bottle of
Athlophoros, and you will, no doubt, be
surprised, and some people might think it
an improbable thing, but it is fact, ascan
be testified to by many neighbors who
know how sadly ] was afflicted, in a few
hours and only having taken a few doses of
Athlophoros, got up and walked around
the room. Athlophoros did for me what
doctors and their medicines failed to do,
and am only too glad to let it be known
to sufferers from rheumatism.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and AthIophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo-
phoros Company, 112 Wall street, New
York, will send either Carriage paid) on re-
ceipt of regular price, which is 81 per bottle
for Athlophoros and so cents for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases dyspepsia, indi
gestion, weakness, ner vous debility, diseases o
women, constipation, headache impure blood
etc., Athlophoros Pills are uneQualed.

a horrible outrage yesterday upon
the lady's house near Keysville, Crawford

insensibility and accomplished his pur-
pose. When the neighbors, aroused by her

struggle. Gravatt was captured to-day and
is now in Jail here. He admits his guilt

Catholic Cathedral, caused by the falling
of candle, setting fire to one of the affairs.
The day being a religious holiday, the
church was crowded to Overlooking, prin-
cipally with women and children. AZ the
sight of the smoke the crowd became
frantic, and the usual scenes of a terror
stricken, struggling mass OF humanity fol.
lowed. Several children were killed and
quite a number of women severely injured.
The scene at the main entrance to the

children were lying about grooming with
pain, while the doctors were doing their
utmost to resuscitate the sufferers. Official

Mohr's large business house and the Martin

damaged. The Tribune Office is entirely
destroyed, with only $500 insurance. The
loss is large for small town. The build

The insurance is not sufficient to cover
half the loss. Motsinger had no insurance

LOUISVILLE. KY, June 1.-Sherif Lewis,
of Gibson County, Indiana, arrived in the
city last night and brought the news of
very sensational affair happening in Craw.
ford County Sunday. A fourteen-year-old
daughter of John Flanagan, near Boston,
that county, was carried away and cruelty
and foully assaulted and outraged.
At 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Walter
and Charles Davis, brothers, of bad rspute,
visited the Flanagan residence, which is
situated eight miles from this place, in Per-
~ County, and finding the family away
from home, save the girl and her two
brothers, they told the Flanagan boys
that some stray stock was breaking into
the farm a mile away from the house. The
posed stray and obsteperous stock.
look after the supposed stray stock
than the Davis boys carried the young
daughter of Flanagan to a neighboring
wood and there the outrage, BOO foul for
description, was enacted. A handkerchief
was placed over her mouth, and the girl
was tied to tree while her person was
violated. After this most fiendish assault
she was beaten with stick of wood and
left for dead. When her two brothers re-
turned home a search was made for the
missing sister. An all night hunt failed to
discover her, but on Monday morning.
some of the neighbOrs found the girl, al
lAost dead, tied to q tree in the woods. She
stated that after the foul assault upon her
the two men pointed pistols at her
and threatened to shoot her if she made
any cutlery during the night. The two
Davis boys who made the assault, were
found in the woods near the suffering girl
on Monday morning. One account states
that both of them were taken to a sapling
near by and lynched after they had con-
fesEed the deed. Another states that
Walter Davis escaped, bat that just after
dark his brother Charles was found con-
eealed under house, and was dragged out
by the Infatuated mob. He was terrified
and quaking with fear. He was securely
strapped to horse and driven back to the
spot where he had ravished the girl. He
begged for mercy, but his cries were I'M
needed. He was taken from the horse, his
hands tied behind him, and was given two
minutes IN which to pray. He availed
himself of the time allowed, and at the
expiration of it stout sapling was bent
down, short rope tied to the top, with the
ether end about Davis neck. Six men held
down the tree, and when it was released it
dew back into position, and Davis was
jerked twenty feet into the air. The force
threw him over the too OF the tree, and as
the rope brought up short on the other side,
his neck was broken The body was rid

allowed to hang there until yesterday
morning, when it was cut down by his
